Summary/Review:
Can the creators of The Walking Dead tell a story that does not revolve around survivors merely fighting zombies or fighting wars with other survivors? The answer is yes! This volume moves ahead a bit into a future where Rick and the leaders of surrounding communities are succeeding in developing sustainable communities amid the zombie horror. Problems encountered now are the challenges of doing things that were normal in the old world. For example, Carl is growing old enough to want to move out on his own to the Hilltop community. Meanwhile, newly admitted survivors find the community too good to be true, an ironic turnabout. Finally, the creepiest new antagonists are introduced. This is a much set of stories and gives me hope for the continuing story of The Walking Dead.
Rating: ***1/2
